Etymology nb :bor it:Eritrea nb it Eritrea (l')Eritrea, the name assigned to the Italian possessions on the Red Sea coast when they were constituted as the colony of Eritrea on 1 January 1890. Italian it Eritrea was originally an ellipsis of Colonia eritrea (“Erythraean colony”), with eritrea the feminine form of it eritreo Erythraean; of the Erythraean Sea. The Italian adjective is from nb la erythraeus reddish; Erythraean, ultimately from nb grc ἐρυθρός eruthrós red, from nb grk-pro *erutʰrós red, from nb ine-pro *h₁rudʰrós red, from the root ine-pro *h₁rewdʰ- red, ruddy. The name therefore ultimately refers to the Red Sea, known in Latin as Mare Erythraeum (“Erythraean Sea”).
